PS3 connection error

I know you've probably answered this before, but here's my question:
I have the 60 gig PS3. I followed all of the steps, including a useful guide from this site on connecting. I get to the connection test step, and get the proper IP address (meaning that part succeeded). However, internet connection failed due to a DNS error, 80710102. Any suggestions?

I have tried to test the connection and have receicved a DNS error ( 80710102 ) I am connecting using a wired modem. What do I need to do ?I have tried to test the connection and have receicved a DNS error ( 80710102 ) I am connecting using a wired modem. What do I need to do ?

Are you connecting through a router?. If so set all of your PS3 settings to easy. If your trying to connect directly to a dsl or cable modem, you might not get connectivity but may get an ip address, as some providers require that you register your MAC address with them to connect a particular device. If you have a router...say a wired one, and you connect any PC through it and get internet, you should be able to hook up the PS3 and put it on easy automatic settings for the connection and it should connect. However, if the router is set for a static ip address (no dhcp), it wont hand out all of the information to the Ps3.

Have you got a fat 60 gig, as this appears to be a common problem after downloading the auto update 3.01. Me and three friends are having the same problem and sony refuse to accept there is a problem. Write to watchdog.com thats what were doing hoping to get some answers

I know what is the problem the same thing happen to me before you need to open your ps3 and look for a battery that the ps3 have inside. the battery is locate under the motherboard take out and them put it back and this is everything whem you finish try to turn on your ps3.

actuallly a lot of ps2 games can be played with the HDMI connected. I do it all the time... however yes the 60 gig will not play every ps2 game and there is a whole slew of the 60 gigs that are not backwards compatable at all. check it out on wikipedia's page on the ps3.

I haven't had a problem with any ps2 game yet, and the only ps game that I own that hasn't played on my ps3 is FF8.

This is a really annoying bug that’s present even in the current version
(2.10 as of this post) of the Playstation 3 system software. When I got
my PS3 earlier this month, it was using the oldest version, 1.10, but I
couldn’t update it because the DNS error was preventing me from getting
online.
After searching online for that error number, I came across a few
sites that said the PS3’s DNS server needs to match that of your
router. I made the appropriate changes to the PS3 and off I went. There
was still a problem, though: it wouldn’t login to the Playstation
Network, even though it passed the DNS test. Augh.
Some of the more silly answers I found included resetting your
modem, calling your provider, telling the PS3 to automatically find all
settings, and turning off your firewall. None of these make any
difference.
The only option I had left was to download the update to a USB flash
drive. This is a poor solution because not everyone HAS a flash drive.
(You could probably do this using the 80 gig model’s card reader,
though I wouldn’t know about that.) Anyway, here is a simplified
version of the directions I followed:
1. Make a new directory in the flash drive named PS3, then one named UPDATE (both must be in all caps).
2. Save PS3UPDAT.PUP to /PS3/UPDATE
3. Plug the flash drive into the console, then from the XMB: Settings -> System Update -> Update via Storage Media
After this is done, you can delete the stuff you created on the flash drive.
Now, you’re using the most recent software and it still keeps giving
you DNS errors? The only solution I’ve found so far is to keep trying
to login until it works. That may sound like a shitty answer, but it’s
the only one I’ve found that works with any certainty. After searching
for a good amount of time and trying every suggestion, brute force is
the most dependable answer I found.
Update: I’ve been using OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 &
208.67.220.220) for a couple of weeks now with little luck, but some
people say it helps.
Update 2: I solved the mystery: spanning tree. Spanning Tree
Protocol is a protocol for preventing loops in a network of switches. I
had to turn on spanning-tree portfast on the port my PS3 is plugged
into. Chances are this solution is completely unhelpful for most
people, but I’m putting it up here anyway, just in case.

There is a common problem with the Blue-Ray players in the PS3. There is not anything that i know of that you can do other than have your PS3 worked on

**Warning** If you have the old 80 or 60 gig ps3 that you are able to play PS2 games on and you are trying to go through sony for repair they may just give you a new 80 gig ps3 in which you will not be able to play PS2 games on any more that feature has been taken away
